High School Scout: Cherry Creek (Colo.) 16, Chatfield (Colo.) 3

The Scout: Cherry Creek continued their dominance from last season and showcase why they are the No.1 ranked team in the West in the Under Armour/Inside Lacrosse Regional Rankings Wednesday night, handily defeating Chatfield Tuesday night at Trailblazer Stadium.

Controlling the pace of the game through its entirety, big game points came out of Kendall Williams and Seyler Skudneski for Cherry Creek, who combined for eight on the night.

Chatfield was able to get on the board in the second quarter, easily their best quarter of the game with goals from Hayden Kammerzell and Mitch Banich, managing to eliminate the team’s shutout. Between the pipes for Chatfield, Drew Erikson managed to stand tall despite the score outcome, getting peppered consistently by the Cherry Creek team.

Cherry Creek returns a very veteran team from their 2010 State Championship squad, which will make them a difficult opponent for any team they face, as Chatfield found out very quickly today.

Recruit Watch: Kendall Williams and Seyler Skudneski, both juniors absolutely dominated today and together were a force to be reckoned with.

They managed to notch shots from every point possible, whether it was outside or a wraparound the crease. Their style of play was difficult for the Chatfield defense to stop and they should be anticipated to be the go-to players all season long.

What’s Next: Cherry Creek looks to remain undefeated as they head in to Wheat Ridge on Saturday (3/19). Coach Bryan Perry knows that they will have to be on top of their game to keep the win streak going.

“Wheat Ridge is a very good team,” says Perry. “I know we look at today’s game and think that we can take on anybody, but that’s not the case. We will have plenty of things to work on before Saturday’s match-up.”

As for Chatfield, they will look to improve on their 1-2 record facing Kent Denver Saturday (3/19) and plan to take away plenty for improvement on the season from today’s game.

“We kind of expected a game like this today,” says Coach Kyle Lambert. “But we need to play teams like this to get better for ourselves. Despite the outcome, our boys worked hard and hustled out there and really that’s all any coach can ask for.”
